In the latest developments of “rape tolerance,” a British lawmaker is suggesting that young women who wear high heels and short skirts are to blame for rape.
Really?
“If you are blind drunk and wearing those clothes how able are you to get away?” Conservative Party lawmaker Richard Graham, of Gloucester, was quoted as saying by his local newspaper, The Citizen.
Graham suggests that women put themselves at a greater risk of rape if they wear these types of clothes.
Anti-rape activists say Graham’s comments blame rape victims for having been assaulted. But Graham said this about his comments in a blog post on Saturday:
“In no way intimates ANY excuse for predatory behavior.”
Hmmm…do you think he is placing the blame on rape victims?
